We feel good and making a contribution is easy and natural. Get into flow by noticing how things make you feel. What foods make you feel good?What exercise/movement feels good?What activities feel good? What people make you feel good when you're with them?Pay attention to how you feel and chose things that feel good and make you happy. It takes awareness to stay in flow because we are wired to go off track. Being human means that we're inclined to go into a state of threat - meaning, there is something I need to control. It is human nature to live in the 'Drama Triangle' where we feel like we need to be right about something. It could be as simple as being 'right' that I don't have enough time or energy or resources. It could also be a judgment of self or of others (being right about someone). The Drama Triangle consists of these three 'people' (any one of these can be me):Victim - Powerless, 'he/she made me', I had no choice, it's someone else's faultVillain  - Makes judgments about situations or people - right/wrong, good/bad, the criticHero  - The one who must save, rescue, redeem, make problems go away, ends sufferingTo escape the 'Drama Triangle', one must surrender being 'right'. I may be right. I may be wrong. It doesn't matter. Can you be okay with saying, 'I don't know'? 

This week, I’m discussing a pernicious problem that you'll probably be surprised to find out you actually know intimately, and maybe you didn't even know you were doing it. This is a major issue that comes up in organizations, families, teams, and even within ourselves. You may have heard, we have just launched our brand new revamped membership program where you will be connected with an incredible community of people like you, as well as some of the most top-notch coaches, teachers and thought leaders. Go to caneel.com/yes to find out more and to join. The purpose of our membership is to be able to share learnings with you and to talk through things that are coming up in your own life. One of the issues that often comes up is this topic of gossip. Gossip matters because it is one of the easiest ways to spread drama in any social setting, in any relationship, in any team, and in any company. It spreads fear, it spreads a sense of distrust, it spreads paranoia, it spreads shame, it spreads guilt, it spreads hiding behaviors, and none of those things is conducive to us being in our full aliveness, our full creativity.So, today, I’m taking a request from our members, and I want to talk to you about this sneaky little drama starter called gossip and how easy it is to stop doing it.See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

This week, executive coach and partner in Evolution, Anjani Bhargava, joins us to take a deeper look at high-performance teamwork through the lens of Conscious Leadership. With 20 years of experience helping organizations build the right culture for their stage of growth, Anjani reveals some simple tactics to gain business results through leadership by transforming operators into culture-building leaders. Many great leaders understand that company culture is one of their greatest customer advantages and the foundation of culture is in the health of, not only the individual team members, but also of the team as a functioning whole. The first steps to becoming a leader of a high-performance team is to be completely accountable as a steward of culture through your behaviors, actions, and communications. Take those first steps today and lead your team to consciously create together. See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

I am sitting here 10 pounds heavier than I was at the beginning of COVID. Where I am in my own journey is learning to accept that lovingly and not making my body a problem in any way. I'm naming this because I’ve been deep down that hole. We are coming up on International Women's Day, and I feel my hands shaking a little bit thinking about this pattern I see in myself, and in many women, to feel more or less valuable based on how we look. I want to speak to those of you who have also experienced some level of body shame from others or from yourself. We can have body shame about anything. It can be about our weight. It can be about our hair. It can be about our skin. Body shame is something that often starts from the outside. We get shamed by society and we internalize it. In an attempt to protect ourselves, we can begin to perpetuate the shame, the blame and the stories in order to have more control and be able to be accepted by others. We're not born into body shame. We learn it. We learn it from others and then we use those lies to break ourselves down from the inside out. So, what can you do? You can make choices about the types of thoughts you want to encourage in yourself. You can make choices around what you expose yourself to. You can choose to question these thoughts. You can choose not to spread them. These stories aren't yours. Stop telling them.Please share this with a woman who could benefit from hearing it. Share this with a man who could benefit from hearing it. Share it with anybody of any gender identity who could use a little more love for themselves today.

What if I told you that you could speak about anything that you want to in a way that nobody can argue with? If that were possible for you, what would that unlock?Could you perhaps resolve some relationship tensions and issues that have been bothering you for a while? Could you maybe ask for a different role at work, a promotion, a raise? Could you maybe renegotiate some of your agreements with your family, with your partner that would actually help both of you to get more of what you want? What if I told you that this is both the simplest skill in the world and one of the most challenging to stick with? I'm really excited today to teach you one of my favorite skills that is directly relevant to the whole body of work that we call conscious leadership. This skill is a super ninja communication tool. It's also a really useful way to be self-aware of when you might be dipping into drama, and it's also a useful way to get out of drama and to stop spreading drama in your relationships and in your life. This skill is called speaking unarguably.See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite tools that is useful in all areas of your life, regardless of if you are an executive, a formal people manager, or if you are in a family leadership position. ARCI is a tool that I teach to my executive teams when I'm doing executive team development and offsite training. It's a framework. It's a way of understanding the ‘who’ behind ‘who will do what by when’, which is the keystone of high integrity clear agreements.Integrity breaches are one of the most destructive forces in organizations, teams and families. When we don't do what we say we'll do, or when we create agreements that are vague, impossible to understand, ill-defined, or low integrity, this leads to a lot of drama. Unchecked integrity breaches create unhealthy forms of conflict and strife, and take up a lot of time and energy. ARCI is a framework for understanding, developing and tracking the structure of an agreement and how everyone involved is going to cooperate and coordinate action together. You can apply it to how a team generally operates. You can apply it to a process. You can apply it to a project. You can apply it to achieve a specific goal, and you can apply it to all different layers. With ARCI in your tool arsenal, you can start having breakthroughs in muddled situations in your work and home right away.See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Don’t forget the most important thing to do this Valentine’s Day! When you hear the term ‘self-love’, you probably think about bubble baths, chocolate and massages. However, none of those things are truly self-love. Today, we’ll break down some barriers that we often have against self-love. We’ll also discuss what self-love actually is and what it could look like for you. Self-love is inner work. It's an inner experience of acceptance and appreciation. At the most basic level, self-love is simply asking the questions, "Can I allow myself?” and, “Can I allow myself to be fully here now?" The essence of self-love is 100% allowance of all that is here now.Self-love is at the heart of everything we talk about on this show, and it is at the heart of all genuine, lasting personal growth. Please remember to give yourself the gift only you can give – show yourself some real self-love this Valentine’s Day. See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

If you are a leader, a manager of people, if you drive projects forward of any kind or you are in coordination with anybody at all, including in your own home about how to get something done, this episode is a concept you can instantly put to good use. In fact, we are discussing one of the highest leverage management tools there is. Today, we are talking about agreements. An agreement is really what propels you into action, where you can now allow yourself to stop thinking through all the steps and you can actually get into the real world and move things forward. So, what is a clear agreement? How can you make them in all aspects of your life? How can you apply this in any part of your life, your work, your home, your creative life, or that life that lives within your relationship with yourself?See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

So often, in life, you ask yourself questions like, “Is this the right path for me?” We think of it as an answer that's somewhere ‘out there’. But the next step is always the one that's right in front of you. You can get an inherent sense of your path just by asking yourself, “Am I in integrity?” Integrity is the through-line that runs through all of the conscious leadership work that we talk about on this show. It's one of the main goals. But what does integrity truly mean?As one of the most commonly chosen corporate value statements, integrity means that you do what you say you will do. But it’s also about wholeness and integration. Integrity means you're not leaving something out. It means that you are not unnecessarily dividing things into arbitrary categories. You're uniting through integrity and there's a strength to that. Integrity matters tremendously in your relationships with time, such as your plans for the future, or in the way that you experience, hold and understand your past. It matters in your relationship with other kinds of energy too, like money. How do you know when you have integrity? How can you move into integrity when you discover you're out of it? How can we make this an intuitive and real-time process that we can literally feel in our bodies when we are in integrity and when we're out of it? What is the path toward moving closer to integrity?See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

You used to think that gender was a simple thing. For some of you, you simply were born into one, and for others, you have questioned, identified and discovered for yourself. Whatever your gender is, gender does play a very important role in shaping what your life looks like – this is undeniable.And in this post #metoo era, it is often an uncomfortable topic to discuss. Today we're going to be focusing on what it's like to be a leader as a woman. How women can support and empower each other, and some of the traumatic things that women face in the world. I have back on the show today Mary and Anna Bloom (of Snap Inc. and Airbnb Plus, respectively) who are here to share some personal stories and excellent advice for men and women alike around what it's like to be a powerful woman.We’ll discuss what it means to be a feminist and how this concept has evolved over the course of their lives, the ways that they have been leaders while maintaining feminist identities, motherhood as an identity shift, and ways you can support yourself as a woman. I think you're going to find the way that they show up in their organizations as women to be profoundly inspiring whether you're a man, a woman, or any other gender. You are allowed to be a powerful woman. And men, you are allowed to be feminists. See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

True breakthroughs come, not just in whatever your innovation is or whatever it is that you're designing, but breakthroughs come in this internal opening of yourself when you're most interested in how to serve and how to best understand your users. Today, I'm offering you a special skill-building series training that I actually developed for a client and it is covering design thinking. Design thinking is a powerhouse of a skill that can be applied to any situation where there is a problem to solve. This skill is especially important to me because it's really where I cut my teeth as a facilitator and coach, and also because it is where I discovered that no matter what tasks you're working on, the work is always the inner work. This training is also available to you as a whole series of videos that I developed with my colleague, Luke Entrup, partner in Evolution, who you met in Episode #2 of Allowed where we focused on shadow. Design Thinking is a team-oriented skill, so I encourage you to share this with your teams and colleagues.See show notes and get free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

There's nothing that you're not allowed to want. You are allowed to want what you actually want. There's no, “should”, necessary. There's no, “I need to”. If you're heading into a new year's resolution process or you're setting goals for your team, your company, or your family, I invite you to build a foundation for making a massive change that's actually in service of your deepest, most authentic self. I’m here to support you in playing with this idea of, "from above the line, I don't need anything. There's nothing I should do. There's nothing I have to do. However, I can want. I can have strong preferences. I can stand for things. I can be committed." In this mindset, from above the line – that's where genuine change happens. There's nothing more human than creating and there's nothing more human than creating change. So, this week, I want to invite you into a really different process; a conscious process of allowing ourselves to be a vehicle for change to happen.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States and it's one of my favorite holidays, although this year is going to look pretty different for almost all of us. This is also normally the week where we would talk a lot about gratitude and why it's important. One of the things that I often see is that it's easy to be grateful for things that seem really profound and important. It's not usually something we consider, to be grateful for that which we find most challenging. 2020 has been the year of challenges. However, these challenges have made us wake up and realize that it is now time to face these things which we did not want to face before. Finding gratitude within your challenges can be empowering and allows you to take back control of something that may have felt beyond your control.Flipping something that seems like an unwelcome challenge and looking for how this might be exactly the right thing for you right now can be hugely beneficial and spur both personal and interpersonal growth. It’s not always easy to do, but in many of life's circumstances, it can be true that there is a silver lining. See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Today, we are tackling one of the most commonly experienced ways to suffer that I have ever come across in all of my coaching work, and it is something called the Imposter Syndrome. The Imposter Syndrome is when you really feel like you are a fraud, and everyone might find out that you've been faking it this whole time, and that you aren’t qualified to actually do the job that you're doing, to have received the rewards that you're receiving, to be in the role or position that you're in, or to have the confidence, success, happiness, or ease that you currently have. I've worked with amazing leaders who still feel like they are an imposter, even if it is their fifth time being a CEO, and they've been a huge success every single time. So, if you are in a position right now, or you ever have been, where you have felt unsure of yourself, maybe self-critical or self-judgmental, paranoid, afraid that others can see through you, maybe you feel guilty or anxious about it or ashamed, or you might find yourself up all night long, or maybe you're indulging in overworking in an attempt to make up this deficit, the work to do around this is on a psychological level by questioning your own stories. In this episode, you can begin to unravel the stories that are leading to your own experience of the Imposter Syndrome by exploring some techniques and exercises I have found useful for my clients. Curiosity is always a tool that's available for you to use, and it's especially important when you feel like it's not okay that you don't know everything. That's the time when you most need it.

How do you ask for and get what you want? I used to be a business school professor and one of the key courses I would teach to MBAs, undergrads and executive MBAs is negotiation, the skills and theories around negotiation and how to get what you want. By far, the biggest takeaway is how most of the time people ask for what they think they can get, instead of what they want.Last week on the show, Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of Women's Executive Network Leadership Educational Platform, Kahilla, shared their co-leadership strategies, and in this episode, I share a separate conversation I had with them on their podcast called “Conversations at Base Camp” where we cover Zone of Genius and how it relates to asking for and getting what you want, as well as applicable strategies for having real-life negotiation conversations so that you can increase the lifetime value in a monetary fashion but also in many other ways of your career.

Dr. Caneel Joyce joins us to share profound insights on how you can reach for and achieve your dreams by getting answers to the questions you didn't even know you were allowed to ask.

It’s time to get inspired to design the business and leadership lifestyle of your dreams. Regardless of what you do, you are a leader of your own life. You lead in your home. You lead in your work. You lead in your personal life. A common struggle that many of you have already faced is how to lead as a whole human with a whole life. Leaders often compartmentalize and make choices in one area of their lives while neglecting certain other areas. This doesn’t have to be the case. You can make choices that allow you to bring all parts of yourself onto the table. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal life to grow a successful business. Noa Ries and Kim Havens, co-founders of the rapidly growing business, Kahilla, are here to explore this unconventional idea with you. These remarkable women have found a way to lead together that supports each of them in their whole beings, all while building a thriving business. They share the decisions they've made on how they designed their company and partnership, as well as the very popular leadership advice they have chosen to ignore in order to create the type of life that serves them, their families and a community of empowered women around the world.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

This Halloween episode is a treat for me to share with you because it is one of my favorite holidays. I love dressing up in costume. Why is the act of dressing up relevant to a Conscious Leader like you? Actually, these two things are deeply related. You’ve likely heard me mentioning “a part of me” or “a part of you”. Today, we dive into the concept of humans being made of many selves. There are a lot of different parts of you that, combined, make up your whole self. Each of these parts can be identified as a different persona with its own unique needs, fears, desires, personality and quirks. They even have their own heroes, role models and values.Often, when you get into inner-conflict or any kind of suffering, it’s because there are parts of you who are not getting along with each other. This is because they don’t trust each other, and there’s usually a pretty good reason for that. When you can identify your personas and resolve the conflicts between them so that they truly trust and rely on each other, you can find more peace, ease and confidence. In this episode, I show you how to begin unpacking your own personas so that all of your amazing and unique parts can begin to work together as a whole.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

In this episode, we address a common misconception about being a Conscious Leader that we all may be contributing to in some way without knowing it.Have you heard someone say, "I was trying not to hero"? Have you ever said, "I try so hard to be present”? Do you "try so hard to stay above the line”? Are you often, “pushing yourself to not be in victim mode"? What do all of those statements have in common? One thing is they're referencing some way of being in drama or being below the line. The second thing in all of those statements are about the effort. It's all effortful. We have to push. We have to strain. It's not just that there's effort, but there's effort with some attachment to try and control an outcome. The common misperception of this work of Conscious Leadership is that there is a right or wrong place to be. It's okay to be above the line, and it's okay to be below the line. Neither one of them is good or bad, right or wrong. Neither one of them is better or worse. They're just different locations where you're going to have different experiences.When we are above the line, we’re going to be in a state of presence, ease and flow. We have access to a type of learning that is transformational in nature. Below the line, we’re focused on being right. Above the line, we’re in a state of trust. Below the line, we’re in a state of threat. Suffering is found below the line, but suffering is not bad – it is human. If you find yourself struggling to be conscious, this episode will help you move into a place of true acceptance of yourself and others, no matter where you find yourself at the moment.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

It was 17 years ago, when I was a 25-year-old, very fit, bright-eyed, and bushy-tailed, Ph.D. student in Berkeley. And if you looked at me on the outside, you'd think that I was really a model of health, and yet, I couldn't even walk down the street because I had excruciating pain. My back and all of my skin were inflamed, my nerves ached down my legs, and I couldn't feel my feet. Every single thing I moved would make it hurt worse, and I got there because I wasn't listening to my body. I was listening to voices of self-judgment, and to this idea that I needed to be something that I wasn't in order to be what I thought I wanted to be, in order to have what I thought I needed to have. For me, it took two years of being in that program for my body to really start fighting back. This is a pretty common experience for those who are pushing themselves too hard, and often, the reason we do that is because we're living outside of what's called your Zone of Genius. When we're living outside of our Zone of Genius the energy it takes to perform is magnificently heavy, and it can be life-draining, it can lead to burnout, and success is just not as easy or fun.It took me deciding that I can't let these expectations I'm putting on myself continue to be the thing that erodes my body such that I feel like an 85-year-old, and I'm only 25 years old. If you're there and if you're suffering, I want to invite you into an experience, where you can listen to your own body and discover your Zone of Genius, live in flow, and finally learn to succeed without suffering.

What if you could truly understand your own personality type and that could unlock a whole new level of deep personal development, heightened communication, and fulfilling interpersonal relationships? In this episode, we speak with the remarkable Erin Rocchio. Erin is an executive coach, a partner in Evolution, and she's certified in a revolutionary personality tool that you've heard mentioned on this show many times – the Enneagram. Learning about the Enneagram personality types can make a massive difference in your life and the way you interact with yourself and with others. And the reason that, as leaders and coaches, we love the Enneagram as a tool amongst many, is that it is very uniquely suited to support lifelong transformation and development where you can use it in a number of ways. You can take it down a spiritual path, you can take it down a path as a parent, you can take it into your personal relationships, and you can take it into your work and your role as a leader.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Our stories are what keep us in suffering. We all have so many stories. Might there be a story about how things need to be different? How somebody should behave in a different way? How something in your life is not enough? Something in you is not enough? When our stories define us, they trap us. One of the practices of conscious leadership is to access greater influence, control, and power in our own lives, satisfy our own needs and create our visions by looking for alternate stories. So, in this week’s episode, we explore the fundamental invitation of Conscious Leadership, which is to understand the difference between a fact and a story.There are so many of us who really stand for change in the world. When we are standing in our own stories, it's very hard to enroll those whom we need to most influence in order to create that change we desire. As leaders, we can use our storytelling abilities to inspire and to motivate, but when we want to create a truly lasting change, we can speak unarguably in the language of facts. This episode will help you begin to notice, “is it a fact, or is it a story?” See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.

Conscious leaders strive to learn about how we can better manage, lead, influence, and support our teams, our colleagues, and ourselves, and how we can best lead, especially through crises or change such as COVID-19. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Dana Sumpter about a leverage-point that has great relevance for any manager in the workforce. In particular, we will be focusing on one of the most valuable and essential segments of the workforce – parents.There's a lot of evidence that especially in this COVID era, with the shutdown of schools, working parents are feeling the pressure and scarcity of resources. They are a misunderstood group. Collectively as a society, and as leaders, in particular, we have a shared responsibility to better understand what this group is going through, and to understand what we can do to challenge the system, to create the change we want, and to stand for reformations, acceptance, and empathy, and how can we reorganize ourselves in a way that is creative and from above the line. In this episode, we talk about specific tactical recommendations for both parents and leaders of working parents to maximize growth, improve communication, increase support, and optimize productivity, especially in remote working and remote learning environments. You may be one of those who is needing to be better understood, better supported, or you may be not part of this demographic segment and yet it's very important that we better understand what they're going through right now so that we can move into a place of greater awareness and we can make conscious choices as leaders about how we might adapt our approach to be more in service of that to which we are most deeply committed.See show notes and get the free tools at AllowedPodcast.com.
